EMPI's Heavy Duty VW Swing Axle Spring Plates are sold as a pair and have a 1 1/4" collar for use with 21 3/4" torsion bars. The silver painted spring plates fit 1961 through 1968 Beetles and Karmann Ghias. Spring plates slide over the rear torsion bars and are held in place by the spring plate cover. The torsion bar is a torsional bar that acts in place of a traditional spring to hold up the rear of the car. The swing axle tube bolts to the spring plate, connecting the rear wheel and suspension to the torsion bar. The plates ride in rubber (or urethane bushings) to prevent metal on metal contact. Heavy duty spring plates require 1 3/4" inside diameter inner spring plate bushings and 1 7/8" inside diameter outer spring plate bushings. Stock rubber bushing will not fit with the heavy duty spring plates.
